Definitions
- Necklaces and other jewelry donned with a chain, strap, or string are desirable for their beauty and their appearance enhancing characteristics. They can be selected and worn for purely ornamental and/or sentimental reasons. These and other jewelry articles can also express subtle and complex messages that reflect the views, opinions, attitudes, culture, religion, or background of the wearer.
- articles of jewelry are not readily modifiable by the end user. If an owner of an article of jewelry desires to alter the appearance of the jewelry when worn, e.g., it is often necessary for a jeweler to make those adjustments, and such adjustments are not readily reversible. For example, if the end user desires to make a necklace chain longer or shorter than its current length, typically a jeweler is commissioned to add or remove links from the chain.
- the present disclosure is directed to adjustable jewelry devices and adjustable jewelry assemblies, and methods of arranging the jewelry devices and assemblies on a wearer.
- a jewelry device includes a clip having an open configuration and a closed configuration, the clip having first and second shell pieces that are pivotally coupled to each other to pivot between the open configuration and the closed configuration.
- the closed configured two shell pieces define an interior volume of the clip in which at least one gripping member is disposed, the at least one gripping member adapted to abut and frictionally hold one or more jewelry chains in place when the clip is in the closed configuration.
- each of the shell pieces defines an interior cavity, the interior cavities together forming the interior volume of the clip when the clip is in the closed configuration.
- the clip includes a terminal extending from one or both of the shell pieces, the terminal adapted to receive a portion of a jewelry chain, strap, string, etc.
- Chains, straps, and strings are terms used herein as non-limiting examples of elongated elements known in the art used to attach jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, and anklets, to the wearer.
- the shell pieces are made of one or more precious metals, precious metals, and/or gem stones.
- the at least one gripping member is made of a resiliently compressible material capable of regaining its uncompressed form when a compression force is released.
- the at least one gripping member is made from one or more of natural rubber, an elastomer, Teflon®, silicone, vinyl, foam rubber, and so forth.
- the first shell piece includes a first locking element that is complementary to a second locking element on the second shell piece, the first and second locking elements adapted to mate with each when the clip is in the closed configuration.
- the shell pieces are pivotally coupled together with a hinge.
- the hinge is partially or completely disposed within one or both of the cavities, and, correspondingly, partially or completely disposed within the interior volume when the clip is in the closed configuration.
- a jewelry device includes a clip having an open configuration and a closed configuration, the clip having first and second shell pieces that are pivotally coupled to each other.
- the shell pieces In the closed configuration, the shell pieces substantially define a tube having an interior volume extending longitudinally between opposing ends of the tube.
- the shape defined by the shell pieces in the closed configuration need not be perfectly tubular.
- the inner surface and/or the outer surface of one or both of the shell pieces can include one or more flattened portions, one or more portions of smaller or larger curvature radius, one or more engravings, and/or one or more embossments.
- each shell piece has an inner surface that defines a cavity and an outer surface that substantially defines a portion of a surface of a longitudinally divided cylinder. Radial end faces perpendicular to the longitudinal direction extend between the inner surface and the outer surface at opposing longitudinal extremes of each shell piece. In the closed configuration two shell pieces define the interior volume of the tube.
- a gripping member is disposed in, and substantially fills each cavity, the gripping members having substantially planar surfaces adapted to abut each other or nearly abut each other when the clip is in the closed configuration, such that the gripping members substantially fill the interior volume when the clip is in the closed configuration.
- Nearly abut is meant that in some examples there can be a gap between the opposing substantially planar surfaces of the gripping members when the clip is in the closed configuration such that the shortest distance between the opposing substantially planar sides of the gripping members is less than a thickness of a chain or strap/string to be held between the gripping members.
- the shortest distance between the opposing substantially planar surfaces of the gripping members when the clip is in the closed configuration can be, e.g., less than about 3 mm, less than about 2 mm, less than about 1 mm, less than about 0.5 mm, less than about 0.2 mm, etc. Larger or smaller distances may also be suitable.
- the clip includes a terminal extending from one or both of the shell pieces, the terminal adapted to receive a portion of a jewelry chain or strap/string.
- the terminal can be, e.g., a ring or other holed feature to which, e.g, a chain link or strap/string of a necklace or other article of jewelry can be attached.
- one of the shell pieces includes a terminal base from which the terminal extends, such as a crossbar disposed at one of the end faces of the shell pieces and extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the shell piece.
- a chain or strap/string of an article of jewelry is attached to the terminal to form a jewelry assembly together with the clip.
- each of the gripping members is shaped substantially as a half cylinder that at least substantially fills one of the cavities.
- the shell pieces are made of one or more metals, precious metals, and/or gem stones.
- each gripping member is made of a resiliently compressible material capable of regaining its uncompressed form when compression force is released.
- the gripping members are made from one or more of natural rubber, an elastomer, Teflon®, silicone, vinyl, foam rubber, and so forth.
- the first shell piece includes a first locking element that is complementary to a second locking element on the second shell piece, the first and second locking elements adapted to mate with each other when the clip is in the closed configuration.
- first and second shell pieces are pivotally coupled together with a hinge and the hinge is partially or completely disposed within one or both of the cavities and, correspondingly, partially or completely disposed within the interior volume when the clip is in the closed configuration.
- one or more chains and/or straps/strings are frictionally held between the two gripping members, the clip being in a closed configuration to form a further jewelry assembly together with the clip.
- one or more of the chains/straps/strings are also attached to the terminal.
- jewelry assemblies of the present disclosure include two or more of any of the clips disclosed herein, and one or more jewelry chains/straps/strings frictionally held by the two or more clips.
- a method includes securing a chain, strap or string of a jewelry article to a terminal of a clip, the clip having features according to the present disclosure; and forming a loop in the chain/strap/string of a selectable length by closing the clip on a selectable segment of the chain/strap/string such that the one or more gripping members of the clip hold the selected segment in place.
- a method includes placing a plurality of necklaces around a wearer's neck; closing each of the plurality of necklaces to form a loop around the wearer's neck; grasping two non-contiguous segments of each of the plurality of necklaces behind the neck, the segments being selected such that the plurality of necklaces appears at a front of the wearer in a desired layered arrangement; feeding the pairs of noncontiguous segments into a clip in an open configuration, the clip having features according to the present disclosure; and closing the clip on each pair of noncontiguous segments such that the one or more gripping members of the clip hold the selected segment in place and maintain the desired layered arrangement.
- a method comprises placing first and second necklaces around a wearer's neck and closing each of the first and second necklaces to form a loop around the neck; feeding the first necklace into two clips in an open configuration, each of the clips having features according to the present disclosure, the clips being positioned one on either side of the user's neck; closing a first of the clips on a first segment of the first necklace such that the one or more gripping members of the first clip hold the first segment of the first necklace in place; closing a second of the clips on a second segment of the first necklace such that the one or more gripping members of the second clip hold the second segment of the first necklace in place; closing the first of the clips on a first segment of the second necklace such that the one or more gripping members of the first clip hold the first segment of the second necklace in place; closing the second of the clips on a second segment of the second necklace such that the one or more gripping members of the second clip hold the second segment of the second necklace in place, wherein for each of the necklaces the first

- a jewelry assembly 100 is adapted to be worn by a user as shown, e.g., in FIG. 12 .
- the jewelry assembly 100 includes a clip 200 having terminal 202 and gripping members 204 a and 204 b.
- the assembly 100 further includes a chain 300 .
- chain 300 depicted as a chain 300 with chain links 302 , it should be appreciated that other types of elongated elements known in the art to attach jewelry (e.g., a string, a strap, etc.) could substitute for the chain.
- a first end 312 of the chain 300 is attached to the terminal 202 .
- a segment of the chain 300 that is noncontiguous with the end 312 is held between the two gripping members 204 a and 204 b, thereby providing for a loop 306 of the chain at one end 206 of the clip 200 , and a tail 308 of the chain 300 extending from a second end 208 of the clip 200 .
- the loop 306 can e.g., can be placed around the neck of the wearer.
- the selection of the segment of chain held between the two gripping members 204 a and 204 b can adjust the appearance of the assembly 100 when worn by the wearer.
- one or more adornments 310 can be attached to the second end of the chain 300 , i.e., the end of the tail 308 that is farthest from the clip 200 .
- one or more adornments 210 can be provided on the clip 200 .
- adornments 210 e.g., an embossment, an engraving, a gemstone, etc.
- the clip 200 is shown in a closed configuration. Also referring to FIGS. 9-10 , the clip 200 is shown in an open configuration.
- the clip 200 includes a first shell piece 212 and a second shell piece 214 that are pivotally coupled to each other with a hinge 216 .
- the outer surfaces 218 , 220 of the shell pieces 212 , 214 together form the outer surface of the clip 200 , the outer surface of the clip 200 being substantially cylindrical when the clip 200 is in the closed configuration.
- the clip 200 In the closed configuration the clip 200 is defined by a longitudinal axis A ( FIG. 3 ), which passes through the center of the clip 200 into and out of the page in FIGS. 7-8 .
- the outer surfaces 218 , 220 of the shell pieces 212 and 214 extend longitudinally between the first end 206 and the opposing second end 208 .
- the shell piece 212 extends radially inward (toward the longitudinal axis A) from the outer surface 218 to an inner surface 222 .
- the shell piece 214 extends radially inward from the outer surface 220 to an inner surface 224 .
- this radial extension defines end faces 207 and 209 of the clip 200 , respectively, which are substantially planar and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A.
- each of the inner surfaces 222 and 224 forms part of a wall of a cylinder that extends between the first end 206 and the second end 208 of the clip 200 . Due to the concave curvature (relative to the longitudinal axis A) of the inner surfaces 218 , 220 , each of the inner surfaces 218 , 220 defines a cavity 226 , 228 , respectively ( FIG. 9 ). In this example, each cavity extends the entire longitudinal length if its respective shell piece, i.e., from the first end 206 to the second end 208 . When the clip 200 is in the closed configuration, the cavities 226 and 228 are adjacent and together form a substantially cylindrical interior volume of the clip 200 . Thus, in the closed configuration, the shell pieces 212 and 214 together form a substantially tubular structure.
- the hinge 216 is disposed within the interior volume of the clip 200 .
- a terminal base 230 supports the terminal 202 .
- the terminal base 230 is a crossbar integrated with the first shell piece 212 .
- the crossbar 230 extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis A between the inner surface 222 and the hinge 216 , the crossbar 230 spanning the cavity 226 at the largest perpendicular distance between the inner surface 222 and the hinge 216 .
- the terminal base and terminal can be integral with the second shell piece 214
- the first shell piece, terminal, and terminal support can be a unitary structure, e.g., cast or machined as one piece and from the same material. Alternatively, these components can be manufactured separately and then assembled together, e.g., by soldering or welding.
- the terminal 202 is a ring having a hole 203 , allowing, e.g., a clasp or a link of a necklace chain to couple to the ring.
- the terminal base can be any of a variety of suitable platforms suited to support the terminal.
- the gripping member 204 a substantially fills the cavity 226 and is therefore approximately half-cylindrical in shape, but sufficiently modified to accommodate the presence of the hinge 216 , which abuts the gripping member 204 a and juts into the cavity 226 .
- the gripping member 204 a thus has a substantially planar gripping surface 240 spanning the cavity 226 at the largest perpendicular distance between the inner surface 222 and the hinge 216 , the substantially planar gripping surface 240 extending the longitudinal length of the gripping member 204 a.
- the gripping member 204 b substantially fills the cavity 228 and is therefore approximately half-cylindrical in shape, but sufficiently modified to accommodate the presence of the hinge 216 , which abuts the gripping member 204 b and juts into the cavity 228 .
- the gripping member 204 b thus has a substantially planar gripping surface 242 spanning the cavity 228 at the largest perpendicular distance between the inner surface 224 and the hinge 216 , the substantially planar gripping surface 242 extending the longitudinal length of the gripping member 204 b.
- the gripping members 204 a, 204 b are made of a resiliently compressible material capable of regaining its uncompressed form when compression force is released.
- the gripping members need not be resiliently compressible, but the gripping surfaces 240 , 242 have one or more material characteristics or structural elements, such as grooves, ribs, nubs, or divots, that enable frictional holding of chains/straps/strings between the two gripping surfaces 240 , 242 when the clip 200 is in the closed configuration.
- the gripping members are made from one or more of natural rubber, an elastomer, Teflon®, silicone, vinyl, foam rubber, and so forth.
- surfaces 205 a, 205 b, 211 a, 211 b of the gripping members 204 a, 204 b are exposed to the exterior of the clip 200 when the clip 200 is in the closed configuration.
- the end faces 207 and 209 can be extended to cover the surfaces 205 a, 205 b, 211 a and 211 b when the clip 200 is in the closed configuration.
- the gripping surfaces 240 and 242 abut each other and are sufficiently compressible to cooperate by sandwiching one or more chains/straps/strings therebetween without disturbing the substantially cylindrical nature of the clip 200 .
- the gap is such that the shortest distance between the opposing substantially planar sides of the gripping members is less than a thickness of a chain or strap/string to be held between the gripping members.
- the friction between the gripping surfaces 240 , 242 and the chain/strap/string can help to prevent the chain/strap/string from moving about and, in the case of multiple chain/straps/strings held by the same clip 200 , the friction between the gripping surface 240 , 242 can help to prevent tangling of the chains/straps/strings in undesirable ways, thereby minimizing or preventing tarnishing or damage that may otherwise be caused by the chains/straps/strings' rubbing together.
- the gripping members 204 a and 204 b can be affixed to the inner surfaces of their respective shell pieces ( 212 , 214 ) through any suitable means, such as glue or other drying adhesive, hook and loop fasteners such as Velcro®, and so forth.
- the first shell piece includes a first locking element 250 that is complementary to a second locking element 252 on the second shell piece, the first and second locking elements adapted to mate with each other when the clip is in the closed configuration to reduce the chances of the clip 200 undesirably opening from the closed configuration.
- Non-limiting examples of possible locking mechanisms that can be used to achieve this functionality include, e.g., snaps, latches, pins, screws, clasps, etc.
- the locking element 250 is a male component (latch) disposed on a shell piece 212 opposite the hinge 216 and frictionally mates with a second locking element 252 , which is a complementary female component (groove) disposed on the shell piece 214 opposite the hinge 216 .
- FIG. 11 the assembly 100 is shown with the clip 200 in the open configuration.
- the clasp 304 at one end of the chain is coupled to the terminal 202 .
- a segment 320 of the chain 300 abuts and extends substantially longitudinally along the gripping surface 242 of the gripping member 204 b.
- the segment 320 is held in place between the gripping surface 240 and 242 .
- FIG. 12 depicts how the assembly 100 might be worn on a wearer.
- a further jewelry assembly 400 is depicted as it might be worn by a wearer.
- the assembly 400 includes one of the clips 200 , a first necklace 402 and a second necklace 404 .
- Neither necklace is coupled to the terminal of the clip 200 , though it should be appreciated that the assembly 400 could optionally include a necklace that is coupled to the terminal of the clip 200 .
- Two selected segments of each of the necklaces 402 and 404 are held between the gripping surfaces of the gripping members of the clip 200 .
- the specific segments chosen to be held in the clip 200 dictate the size of the loops 406 and 408 of the necklaces 402 and 404 , as well is the length of slack 410 and 412 , respectively, of the necklaces 402 and 404 .
- a desired layered arrangement of the necklaces 402 and 404 is achievable, regards of the necklaces' relative lengths.
- clip 200 and its features can be adjusted in size to accommodate more necklaces, thicker necklaces, etc.
- a further jewelry assembly 500 is depicted as it might be worn by a wearer.
- the assembly 500 includes two of the clips 200 , a first necklace 502 and a second necklace 504 .
- Neither necklace is coupled to the terminals of the clips 200 .
- a selected segment of each of the necklaces 502 and 504 is held between the gripping surfaces of the gripping members of each of the two clips 200 .
- the specific segments selected to be held in the clip 200 dictate the lengths 506 and 508 of the necklaces 502 and 504 that appear on the front of the wearer, as well as the lengths 510 and 512 of the necklaces 502 and 504 that appear on the back of the wearer.
- a desired layered arrangement of the necklaces 502 and 504 is achievable, regards of the necklaces' relative lengths.
- clips 200 and their structural features can be adjusted in size to accommodate more necklaces, thicker necklaces, etc.
- alternative jewelry assemblies can include three or more clips.
